[AccessD] Using macros - good thing or bad? Was RE: OT search inname attachments in outlook2003

Interesting question Rocky.

Macros serve their purpose, but if it can be done in code just as
easily, there is no real reason to use a Macro.

General question on macros:   why have they fallen into disfavor?  

I had an opportunity to fill in as a teacher of an advanced Access
course
and a lot of the course was on macros which I never use.  Got a legacy
2007
app to work with last month and it was full of macros.

Macros:  good or bad?  

TIA

Rocky
